Ephesians 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. It was a saying of Charles V, "I have spent my treasure, but that I may recover again; I have lost my health, but that I may have again; but I have lost a great many brave soldiers, but them I can never have again." So other temporal blessings may be lost and recovered again; but, if the term of life wherein you should work for heaven be once lost, it is past all recovery; you can never have another season of grace for your soul. (T. Watson.) Parallel Verses KJV: Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. |
